TO FIGHT THE ULSTERMEN.

IRISH NATIONAL VOLUNTEERS SIR ROGER CASEMENT'S PROPOSAL. LONDON, November 20. In order to cope with the Ulster volunteers, and uphold the Government's authority, Sir Roger Casement, who was the means of exposing the Putumavo atrocities, and Captain James White." a son of the late Field-Marshal, are helping the Government to form a force of Irish National Volunteers.

Captain White intends to start drilling the strikers of Dublin. Mr Connolly, the strike leader, supports the proposal. .

Tlie "< hronicle'' and other Radical newspapers, condemn the movement.

Captain White was one of the principals in the organisation of the large meeting in London a few months back of Irish Protestant Lil>erals held to support the Irish policy of the present Liberal Government. On the occasion he made a telling speech. Since then he has been working energetically in Ireland, particularly in Ulster, where by his voice and pen he has ridiculed and vehemently denounced the action of Sir Edward Carson and his followers.

Sir Roger Casement has lately toured Ulster, and in the London Press be has spokcr his mind very freely concerning the methods of Sir Edward Carson, which, he said, were more applicable to Huerta in Mexico than to an enlightened people like the British. It was about time. Sir Roger said, that these antics in L'lster ceased.
